RECENT LITERATURE.

HOUSEKEEPING RECOLLECTIONS. BY
Count Lehndorff. Philadelphia: Peter & Coates
The carefully considered thoughts of ac-
knowledged experts are always welcomed by
the book-reading public. Few persons are
aware how largely the people OF this country
arc interested in the breeding and raising of
horses. According TO the census Of 1880 the
number of horses in the United States was
l0.357, ass, an increase of over 100000 in a
single decade. In time of peace almost every
branch OF trade is 10 some extent interested in
this noble animal; while in war the welfare of
our armies largely depends upon the fleetness
and powers Of endurance of our horses. For
this reason the German. French and Austrian
Governments, with u wiser precaution than
our own, have established national stud
farms, in order that their cavalry should be
properly mounted and the needs of the army
supplied. In England the same object is ac-
complished by liberal government subsidies.
Count LehndOTif, the manager of the govern
ment stud of Germany. has made special
study of the intrcacies Of horse breeding, and
in this volume emhOdies the result of years of
careful study. While all may not agree with
his conclusions, none will dispute the value of
his observations.

A story Of the war, the principal actors in
which are fictitious, but the characters intro

gin. Washington, ID. @.
This volume contains nearly 800 pages of
poems. The writer expresses his thoughts in
choice language and smoothly flowing rhythm.
Many of the poems are very sweet and touch
ing, and others ring with the sound of martial
music The book is dedicated to Gen. w. w.
Dudley, late Commissioner of Pensions.

GEN. WESLEY MERRITT.
Brief Sketch OF his Distinguished Services During
the War.


Gen. Wesley Merritt. who was a few days ago
promoted to the rank of Brigadier- General,
United States Army to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the retirement of Gen. Wilcox, was
conspicuous among the dashing cavalry leaders
OF the war. He was born in New York and
graduated at West Point in 1860. He was i'm
mediately assigned TO the I'd Dragoons-after-
ward the 2d u. s. Cav.-with the rank of Bre-
vet Second Lieutenant. He was commissioned
Second Lieutenant, Jan. %, 1861; First Lieu
tenant, May b. 1861, and Captain, April 5,
1862. During 1860 and the early part of 1861
he was on duty with his regiment in Utah,
being detailed as its Adjutant in July of the
latter year.
The regiment was then summoned to Wash
ington, and during the Winter of 1862 he
was engaged in the defense of this city in the
capacity Of Aid-de-Camp to Gen. Cooke. He
took the field for active service in the Spring
of 1862, and participated in all the operations

The newer style is

younger dudes, who
as a rule dress some
what gayer. In this
the cane, which is
very large and heavy,
is grasped in the mid

The proceedings of the fourth National Con-
vention of the Womans Relief Corps. held last
year at San Francisco, have been published in
stout pamphlet of 200 pages. It contains
much information valuable 10 all interested in
the work of the Corps. The excellent style in
which the matter has been prepared for preser-
walton in permanent form, is in the highest de-

In 1881 Capt. Willard Glazier. believing that
Lake Itasca was not the true source Of the Mis-
sissippi River, made an exploring expedition,
which resulted in the discovery of a lake still
farther north. which he found to be the real
head of the Father of Waters. An account of
this expedition and a resume Of public comment
and opinion on this subject are published in a
small pamphlet, having been compiled by Pearce
Tiles, who was n member Of the exploring party.
The Rev. Mr.. Halliday, Mr.. Beechefs assist
ant in Plymouth church. has been associated
with Lyman Abbott ID. d., in the preparation
of the biography Of the late Mr.. Beecher, to
which the great preacher, previous to his death,
largely contributed. 1t was not proposed to
have either Mr.. Halliday'5 or Mr.. Beecher's
connection with the book generally known, but
the death of Mr.. Beecher has removed the OBJ
lection to the fact being made public, and now
the complete book will appear with both DIR.
Lyman Abbott's and Rev. s. b. Halliday's
name on the title page. They have also been
assisted by q corps of over 30 eminent writers,
Leonard Bacon, ID. d., ]. G. Whittier and others,
who have contributed "reminiscences, etc. As
Mr.. Beecher did not write a line upon any
autobiography Of himself, but did contribute to
this work, the additional fact is apparent that
DIR. Abbotts and Rev. Hallidays book is the
nearest approach to an autobiography that Mr..
Beecher has left, and with the array of talent
employed it looks as if we were to have biog-
raphy which is worthy of the man. The work
is sold by subscription Messrs Winter & Co.,
OF Springfield, Mass, are engaged in its sale.
